Adaptive optics allows one to overcome the limitations imposedby the optics of the eye on the resolution of images obtainedwith scanning laser ophthalmoscopes. However, since the imageis obtained by scanning at a frame rate of typically 10-20 Hz,involuntary eye movements become a non-negligible limitationwhen the field covered by a single frame decreases and a higherresolution is sought. This in turn has a negative influenceon image alignment and the necessary summation process to enhancethe overall signal-to-noise ratio, as well as on further processingtechniques such as deconvolution. Hardware solutions have beeninvestigated but they rely typically on complex set-ups. Forthis reason, relatively simple software solutions have usuallybeen implemented.
